Pauldachz has tested this thoroughly. And whined about it thoroughly. It was broken by the Wii Remote Scanning merger in 3.5-471 (r46adbfa9ede1).

I didn't really test thoroughly, I just know that it's fucked up enough that there's no point in testing it myself without any knowledge of what the hell's going on under the hood.
I have whined about it thoroughly, though, y'got that right.

Branch comex-wiimote-fixes should fix this. However, it contains some changes to the Wiimote thread lifecycle / event handling, so someone please test on Windows and Linux.

Well, I was able to sync my WiiMote after this post was done, but for some reason,I noticed that the games run much slower in the new version!
and this might also be the cause of the problem for the syncing!
I don't really know, but my guesses are that the WiiMote waits for a "Fast response" and the emulator is not getting it right while running slower.
look at the screenshots below:

Notice that in the older version, the game is running at 100% without any problems, while in the newer version, it can only run at 50-70%.
And that happens in either, the master branch, or the comex-wiimote-fixes branch.

Probably your configuration. Ask on the forums how to make dolphin go faster on your computer.
Updated by pauldacheez about 11 years ago
It's a well-known fact that Dolphin inevitably gets slower as it progresses. This has absolutely no relation to this Wii Remote issue.
